Pretentious Band Photos

Well I have done one of these posts in a long while, mostly because I thought they were a bit mean. Then I saw this --

Holy mother of god those poor guys look like raging pretentious art school snobs. I'm sure that they are nice young men and all but for the love of all that is holy do they look stupid in this picture. This is exactly the kind of crap that I think is killing the underground music scene: bands that get all dolled up to be the next big weird thing that Pitchfork decides to push. Somehow that is making it in music today. This stuff truly makes me cringe.
